Welcome to One Tree Hill, the home of the

One Tree Hill Progress Association

Breaking News

The Progress Association AGM was held at 8pm at the Institute on Thursday 18th May 2023.   With the help of some new members, we have filled all of the committee executive with the exception of the Secretary.  This is not a demanding role as nearly all of the incoming/outgoing correspondence is handled directly by the various business managers, the treasurer and the president.  The main roles of the Secretary are preparation of the monthly agendas and the recording and distribution of the meeting Minutes.  If you have a couple hours a month to help, please contact any of the committee members (see list under Contacts) to discuss how you might be able to help. 

Overview of One Tree Hill and its Progress Association

One Tree Hill is nestled in the hills above Elizabeth/Craigmore and is roughly mid-way between Tea Tree Gully and Gawler, which is 12kms to the north.  Adelaide is approximately 32kms to the south. The population of One Tree Hill is approximately 1200 people and the town still has a lovely village feel to it with its own country pub and small group of local shops.   The name One Tree Hill derives from a single large gum tree that was situated 3kms from the centre of town near the original One Tree Hill Inn. The tree was burnt down in 1890 and 5 trees were planted around the old tree to commemorate the location. These 5 trees can been seen today on the corner of Walter Road and Black Top Road.
